Semi‐arid and subhumid West Africa is characterized by high inter‐annual rainfall
variability, with variable onset of the rainy season, somewhat more predictable endings, and …

Thermal stress during reproductive development and grain-filling phases is a serious threat
to the quality and productivity of grain legumes. The optimum temperature range for grain …

High temperature and water deficit are among the major limitations reducing lentil (Lens
culinaris Medik.) yield in many growing regions. In addition, increasing atmospheric vapor …

Global climatic instabilities have become the main reason for drastic yield losses in
chickpea. This shift in climate could be a great threat in the future for food security in …

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan L.(Millsp.)] play an important
role in mitigating protein malnutrition for millions of poor vegetarians living in regions of the …

Rhizobia form nitrogen-fixing nodules on leguminous plants and convert atmospheric
nitrogen to plant-utilizable ammonia resulting into increased plant growth and crop yield …

Potential influences of soil inoculation using phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) in
integration with or without foliar spraying using mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) or nano …

The present study examines the role of leguminous compost (LC), humic acids (HA), and
phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (P-SB) in alleviating the stress effects of high soil CaCO3 …

Abstract Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is an ideal pulse crop of rainfed tropics and
sub-tropics due to its high nutritive value and ability to survive various biotic and abiotic …

European pulse production faces a continued loss of cultivated area along with decreasing
or stagnant yields. Vicia faba is a traditional legume with high genetic diversity cultivated in a …
